        I'm thinking of using a USB drive so I can dis/connect it
        without having to poweroff. Anybody have manufacturer
        recommendations?

        Somebody else also suggested a "network drive" that you just
        plug into your Ethernet and it has enough smarts it in to
        appear as an NFS host.
